Copper Corridor

Copper Corridor Trail Runs : Superior, Arizona

The Copper Corridor Trail Runs take place in Superior, Arizona and offer multiple trail distances on routes that visit Picketpost Mountain, Arnett Canyon and sections of the Arizona Trail. Courses move from downtown Superior or the Superior Public Pool into desert and riparian terrain with Saguaro cactus forests, flowing creeks, sycamore trees and notable rock formations.

Distances offered:

• 50K
• 32K
• 17K
• 12K

The 50K route includes many miles of the Arizona Trail and a loop around Picketpost Mountain. Start and finish locations differ by distance: most distances start and finish in downtown Superior while the 12K uses the Superior Public Pool. Aid stations are placed at regular intervals; published frequencies vary by distance from approximately every 2 to 12 miles. The event is a cupless race so runners must carry their own container for refills. Chip timing is used and runners must display bibs for aid station check ins.

Crews are allowed at specified locations but not at the Picketpost trailhead parking area. Pacers are not permitted. Drop bags are available at the start/finish area. Medical staff are based at the start and finish headquarters to provide first aid if needed. Local parking options include on street, a town dirt lot, and overflow at Superior High School.
